I have just installed Evils Custom Barebone rom v5 on the dev bord for desire, its a rom build that has no sense, just helixlauncher2. Now before i installed this i had the stock rom running and that always kicked my network preference to G and if i set it to HSDPA only, i would get scratchy 3G/H... Since installing the bareback rom, which has no sense running at all, i am on 3g or h constantly, and when i load a web page it always kicks into H.
I must also add that after i rooted i also updated my radio (baseband) to the new one released, the asia update
This could mean that sense applications or sense itself is forcing our phones to 2G networks as preference, I know this idea is out of the box but its looking that way, especially in my case.

very good news! although it's most likely the radio update that has fixed the problem! (i had the issue with the HD2 and it was discovered that it was not the fault of the Sense services that the connection would drop)
please keep us updated as it can take a while for the connection to drop, it can stay stable for hours and then drop like crazy.
thanks for posting but do keep us updated!
thanks!
Its definatly not the radio update mate as i still had the problem straight after rooting and updating to the new radio..... The problem only was solved when i installed the custom barebone rom, i now have HSDPA on tap, instead of blank spells when i had wcdma only on previous to the custom rom.
I just added that if people want to replicate what i did, then they have the full picture
Plus constant 3 bars of 3g reception

well please do some further testing and report back! download a 50mb file while surfing the net and see if it drops
if it doesn't then there is a fault with Sense which HTC must fix.
ok gonna test now, also just made a phone call which was liquid! pure liquid!! No breaks or anything... I think we may be on to something here guys! something thats pretty big!
This rom is avoid of any sense, sense looking like what is killing our connections;(
JD
Started to download 114mb nvidia graphics driver, whilst on 3 bars it was downloading very fast, then it dropped to two bars, and it hung, after downloading 2mb, then it popped back up to three bars, downloaded another 2mb and then dropped back down again to two bars. When surfing it always stays three bars. It looks like tmobile have put a cap on how much we can download in bursts.
Im still noticing 95 percent surfing on hsdpa improvment.
JD
also i think removing sense and all of its RAM burden helps the phone to make better and faster decision's. This could be whats happening here
Also reporting a better WIFI signal strength, wad usually one bar from my room, now is now a constant 2 bars on signal icon
Stock T-Mobile ROM, never had any issues?
This seems to happen with every new HTC release. Could it just be poor network performance?
Why do I never have issues? Live around Nottingham but work all over the UK, no problems with HSPA.
Ok, i unchecked under location, determine location by wifi towers.... Went to download that 114mb file again,
Worked 100 percent.
downloaded in just under 10 mins no hang))
so its solved!!

Paul some people are having intermittant G/3G/HSDPA
My problem was solved by not having Sense And with the CM Mod being uploaded as we speak i will see if its to draw with that as well.
But im definatly getting faster, always H speeds now, and the only thing i changed was the rom

i must be lucky i dont seem to have the issue
So if some people have it and others don't how can it be device and not network related?
It's OS and Network related.
There's an open bug on the android development site about it. I don't know all the ins and outs but the OS seems to have some difficulty re-acquiring dropped signals. So if your network has dodgy 3G coverage you're more likely to experience this.
I'm sure it's far more complicated than my explanation though and involves all kinds of fascinating intricacies regarding the type of 3G coverage and automatic switching between the different connections yadda yadda...
Yeah its pretty deep, all i know is it has been fantastic since Sense has been off my phone

Just to clarify here, switching rom and radio on your phone did not solve the issue as there was still a dropout, but what has fixed it is disabling the location, what do you mean location by wifi towers?

i have sense on my evo again because everywhere i went no matter my signal, the bars on cm6 showed 1-2 rarely 3 never 4 and the 3G was painfully slow. ran tests and i got .1 mbps on cm6, flashed sense to see if my phone was the problem and it got 1mbps, ten times faster? can anyone explain the potential problem here? its killing me cuz i love aosp but the 3G is killin me
Always had the same issue here. One of the reasons I stay on a sense based rom.

Post in Q&A
And just a suggestion, install a senseless ROM... Built off sense but has sense removed... Will be the closest thing to AOSP but will keep your speeds and 4g working.
The signle meter on CM6 only has 4 bars, the Sense one has like 8. You are getting the same coverage.
Secondly, wrong forum. This is development.
Third. I have slow 3G on CM6 roms too. I have no idea why, and everyone else will tell you it's Sprint. But I can be in the same place, and run speedtests and Sense based ROMs are always faster.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Yup. Sense will always have better 3G signal. Sometimes when I am on CM the signal even drops down to 1x.
Thats irrelevant .. he also posted the speeds he was getting. OP, I don't know what's wrong; doesn't happen to me. Is it on all aosp roms? Try messing round with the settings
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
oops i thought i posted in q&a, my bad.
and i understand the whole bar ratio but on sense i get like 7 bars out of 8 rather than 1 out of 4. seriously it is almost ALWAYS 1 bar and it drops to 1x a lot! its never faster than about 125kb/s on a speedtest no matter where i am. its almost like theres a governor bogging it down
ALSO: ive flashed gingerbread roms galore, all the same issue.
On a AOSP rom the 4 bars are the 4 low bars outta the 6 in sense, so if u see only two bars then ur short 4 which gives u horrible battery. Also kernels play the biggest role in data if u want to believe it or not...

I had the same problem until I flashed a Sense rom, re-flashed the newest radio after first boot. Updated the profile then restarted the phone. I then could flash any AOSP rom with no speed problems. But every time i go back to a sense rom I must do that again if I want to go back to AOSP...
I don't know if it will work for you, but it did for me...

Make sure "Data enabled", "International data roaming", and "National data roaming" are checked, and "System select" is on Automatic.
And before you freak out, all of the EVO plans on Sprint have unlimited roaming.

hahahahaaha thanks i already know all that. and yes its all checked.
well it seems that the radio flash and updating the profile worked some magic. speeds are up above 700kbps
EDIT: nope. back to horrible speeds jk
can i get some feedback from more CM users please? this is so confusing
I had the same problem on cm6. Still don't understand why but I'm sticking with a sense rom. I get the best results on myns roms. Fresh was almost just as bad as cm6 as far as speeds go. Kinda weird imo. Maybe someone can explain?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If I had to guess, its due to the fact most sense based roms have the carrier spyware built in. (ksoftiq I think is the process name)
But, thats just a guess, I'm probably wrong.
I have the same issue with cm6 and the latest gb asop roms. Not with the display of the bars, but on asop roms only at my work I will bounce between 1x and 3g. I will lose data, then go to 1x, then back to 3g constantly. When holding, the signal isnt too bad, but it is almost as if the phone cannot pick between towers or something. I have tried multiple radio/pri combos and such and have no solution. Also tired switching back to sense and updated profile and prl.
Edit: Could it also be location based? This only happens at work in Burbank, CA. Just about everywhere else I am around LA I do not have this problem.
I suffered from this on cm. On gb I get great speeds for a while then it will act crazy and get slow. I reboot and it goes back to being fast again.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
if u ever notice some of those extra processes running in the background of sense like IQRD or IQ agent for example... i believe some of those are qualcomm based programs that help ensure good data transfer speeds. And it's funny that we all hated sense because of those extra background processes that seem to slow the whole system down but some of them are actually helping to keep data speeds up in sense roms. Obviously in AOSP those processes are not present therefore speeds arent always as reliable and may drop in and out. Im just speculating on this and have no concrete proof but i did read up on one of the processes and it points to qualcomm's cdma based technology development so im assuming there is a correlation.
Hey guys my 3g is not as fast anymore after constant flashing of roms and radios and now I never get over 500kbps..any suggestions?
I've been having the same problem! I seen somewhere about reconnecting your phone with Sprint towers, but can't find the post about it again anywhere.

Sorry but thats all i got. Ive noticed sometimes i get bad reception but i havnt up dated my radios since fresh 3.4 came out. Ive been running cm for a long time so that might be it but its not enough to make me flash back to sense to fix it. I hope you get everything figured out.

Hey no problem man I appreciated the help..I guess my next move will be to flash fresh Rom..the speed seems to come and go on myns rls 5 but on any other Rom speed is completely horrible but let's see..ill get back with results.
I've been having the same issues. I've noticed when running the speedtest app sometimes it detects the closest server being over in Europe (I'm from Wisconsin). It appears to be tower related. When I'm on the tower closest to my house it detects the closest location in Missouri? Awkward. I'm on CM 6.1.2 running snap 7.6 with turbo enabled. Most times I see speeds of .3 mbit. Turn on wifi and I instantly max out my connection at 8 mbit. If only 3g were that fast, lol.
so i thought i did the right thing...to start from the top...my old evo broke...got a new evo...didnt update the prl...rooted/flashed a new rom and boom...my internet blows...its stuck on 1x...so..i flashed a sense rom...updated the prl...now im missing something because when i go back to the roms i wanna use...its still stuck on 1x...what am i doing wrong?

You're most likely not doing anything wrong. I assume you're using an AOSP rom. Aosp roms show your true signal, if you're on 3g or 1x. Sense roms show 3g all the time, even if you're on 1x. Sense lies to you. Aosp shows the truth. Although there is now a mod that allows you to see true signal on Sense as well now.

A PRL is a "preferred roaming list" and has nothing to do with data speeds unless you're talking about data speeds when you're roaming. Do you mean that you are getting no 3G coverage at all?

Are you sure you are getting 3g at all? Sense doesnt tell you when you are on 1x unless you grab an app for that. Are the 1x culprits all aosp and you are just under the impression you are getting 3g on sense when in all reality you are not? Run a few speedtest.net tests and let us know what your speeds are on both on both. I doubt your speed changed.
hmmm...interesting....well im running MIUI...but its weird...because i used to get good signal...i wonder if maybe this is tying in too all the problems it seems a lot of people are having...im gonna run the speed test right now and see
signal and speed arent necessary related, though i believe aosp does calculate that into theirs. On sense it is (almost?) always separate. Anyhow I have only seen a few phones get "stuck" internally at 1x, no worries that would also be fixable.
You may just be having tower issues, thank sprint for that. Another good question is do you get 3g on a diff tower? drive out of the range of your current tower and see what ya get.
yea im gettin a steady 1x from home all the way to work which is about 15 miles away...
my first test:
Ping: 558ms Dl:125 Ul:148
second test:
ping: 807ms Dl: 126 Ul: 140
3rd:
ping: 786ms dl: 126 ul: 143
im not too knowledgable about this stuff....but i feel like the numbers are good right?
No, those are def 1x speeds. Sprint average is 540k. Being that you have used multiple towers i would assume its the phone. Grab easy settings from triforce, luke and see what the settings are. If you cant get back to 3g you may want to grab the 2g/3g toggle from triforce, luke for a buck and set it to hybrid or evdo only and see if that works. Its the only thing that helped me once.
I tried profile restores, other prls, everything. Have you tried any other prls? I wouldnt suggest a profile restore because you dont have 3g and it needs that to provision.
Have you gone into ##3282# (sense rom), and cleared your profile data (top item, then menu IIRC). This will cause the phone to reboot, and do an OTA activation on the subsequent boot.
Have you messed with your 3g settings - meaning, is the device being forced into cdma mode only??
Which rom did you specifically flash?
And I guess most importantly, before you did anything, did you ensure 3g/4g work with the phone in its stock state?

I had this same issues awhile back and the quoted text is what worked for me.
you can try a profile restore but it may not activate well without 3g. Sprint told me that themselves, so have others...though it did activate for me, i have seen people get stuck though for a bit...
well...from what i understand i guess i have no idea if 3g was working before...i know 4g did work fine...and it still works weather im using the wimax setting on a sense rom or even before i rooted it....so somebody give me a run down of what to try...i read a lot of those suggestions...and to be totally honest...i have no idea what too do...like i said im kinda new to this whole thing

Hello out there,
since I wiped my phone and updated to the most recent CyanogenMod 7 build (#262), my problem regularly freezes when switching from 3G to 2G mode. The only thing to get the device running again is to remove the battery and reinsert it again. If i'm still in an area or room with only 2G coverage, the phone freezes soon after boot-up.
Help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
toco
My phone:
HTC Desire (GSM)
PVT1 S-OFF
RADIO-5.17.05.23
CyanogenMod 7 20120225-NIGHTLY
Android ver. 2.3.7, kernel 2.6.37.6
What I'd do in this order:
1) stop using nightlies
2) change kernel
3) change radio
There was this guy whose phone froze every time he was in space with low or no 3G coverage, and I think changing kernel from snq's to some other solved it for him.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Thanks for your quick response!
Ok, I appreciate your advice. If the problem keeps occurring I will switch back to the latest stable.
But, still something strange about it: I had absolutely no problem the first weeks i was using this nightly (262 was since November 2011 the latest nightly until today), the problem started to occur from one day to the other.
I am using the radio version since probably half a year or even more, without any problems.
Also, 262 was reported (cyanogenmod forums, other forums) to be very stable on the Desire, almost no people reported having problems with it. That's why i decided to update to build 262. I for my part am suspecting a software being the cause for the freezes, but i have no clue which one.. I even checked the system logs.
As for the kernel: Call me a noob, but how do i change the kernel? I know how to root devices, flash recoveries and roms, but how can i change the kernel directly?

Kernel is flashed the same way as roms are. Make sure you use a correct one, manU 2.1 is probably the most popular of those which will work on cyanogenmod.

Alright, one more thing: If I change the kernel to let's say Manu 2.1 - how can I switch back to the original CM7 kernel again? Just by reinstalling the CM7 ROM?

Wait, if I set it to WCDMA only I can only access data services when in a 3G covered area, right? Thats not optimal either because i'm regularily visiting my parents on weekends, where only 2G coverage is available. Also in some buildings (esp. cellars) here in the city there is only 2G coverage.

I have done that one month ago and no a SINGLE freeze
I had about 5 a week before
It was mostly difficult on a train trip.
I am a heavy user of those very fast french train and i suffered of freeze about 3 times per trip (3 hours running 300 kmh)
Since the "bending" of sim an sd card = SOLVED !!
Thanks, that seemed to help! Even if i don't get the logic behind that.. but i don't have to, i just want a working phone
Thanks again mate!
There seems to be a lot of people complaining about desire freeze
I thins this should be tried by those since it fixes freeze for me and for you too !!!
Happy this helps you
I am using an other rom, but had the same issues. Problems gone with new kernel.
Droidzones kernel did it 4 me, but i am on a sense 3.5 rom.

3G to 2G freeze - solved
Hi,
I had the same issue: on 3G to 2G network change the phone froze. When moved out of 3G coverage, sometimes during/after the call (probably due to 3G-to-2G handover during the call), seconds after forcing the phone to 'GSM only'. I tried different ROMs, different radios, no success. Finally the guilty component was found: microSD card.
I changed from class 10 to class 4 and suddenly the issue disappeared.
The logic behind this is hard to grasp, but I tried two different ROMs now on a slower card and no freezing for couple of days now.
I've tried Liquidsmooth, CM Remix, Omni, and now Carbon. Every KK rom shows me the orange no data connection icon. Airplane mode toggle and wifi toggle doesn't work. Reboots only work sometimes. And that's not really a solution, rebooting my phone every 5 minutes. Why is this happening?
I only home that you switched all these ROMs with clean installs. Did you?
Of course
yea same here got a gnex on eBay having trouble getting it going ..looks like I'm going to an old ROM that my other gnex runs and at least has data connection
4.2.2. lol....

My old 4.2.2 JBSourcery gets signal just fine. And for some reason Omni gets better than the others but still cuts out.

rom can affects data coverage from the Rils files (in libs). usually continuously using 4.3 rils right now cause google doesn't update for gnex. gnex roms still on progress in this. CM & slim update the coverage issues so far. dont know wt others. sorry if im wrong..

I dont know what carrier you are on but when I was using my Verizon Galaxy Nexus, every ROM I flashed usually had no data on first boot. I got in the habit of rebooting the phone before I even went through the setup and after that, data had no issues. It was a known thing. Toggling airplane mode and 3g/LTE was also known to cause issues at one point. So if you clean flash, boot up and let it sit for a few seconds before going through the google setup. If data doesnt automatically connect, reboot right away. It should connect fine after that.
Yeah I'm on Verizon now. Hopefully making the switch to T-mo in about a month. The problem is not that data doesn't connect at all, the problem is that it will drop out and never come back. I live in Boston and in the subway I will lose the signal underground and it will never come back. Also my office is right in the main downtown area and I barely get a 3G signal no matter what. I know my signal strength isn't part of this problem. It's the data connection somehow becoming disconnected and staying idle that is stopping me from staying on KK.

Since you're on Verizon check shiny Rom. The guys there have done a lot of tweaking to improve data.
The reason data is problematic is partially since the gnex is no longer supported and the toro variant has had no officially android release since 4.2.2 and the ril and telephony stack have changed how they work with cdma in both 4.3 and 4.4. I believe the toro uses a bit of an older radio. Is this a problem when you disable 4g as well?

I've gotta say that Shiny ROM is just about flawless. I've never had issues getting or keeping a data connection when there's signal. I'm using the FK01/FK02 radios from 4.2.2 and the 4.2 bootloader.
I'll give my little testimony here: a basic stock rom will get you farther than a fully-featured one. I've heard the expression "mo' features, mo' bugs" and that seems to fit quite well. I'm not aware of any features in any rom that you can't get from one xposed module or another, so that's what I've been doing. I'd say give it a try and see if your data issues are resolved for good.
Shiny has always worked fine for me. I run latest everything.. bootloader, radio. CM I think worked fine for me but was ugly. Paranoid Android seems to have some connectivity issues.. I wish someone could solve this data issues. Maybe it is time to leave my nexus behind Just been waiting for another verizon nexus

I've tried Liquidsmooth, CM Remix, Omni, and now Carbon. Every KK rom shows me the orange no data connection icon. Airplane mode toggle and wifi toggle doesn't work. Reboots only work sometimes. And that's not really a solution, rebooting my phone every 5 minutes. Why is this happening?

I've got about 7 different Nandroids and have been switching between them to test. CM Remix which I believe is based on Slim seems to be working OK. I tried Slim this morning but still got a lot of data cut-outs

wow.. lot of roms tested. that pretty brilliant idea for solving this. just use the best. data networks really different for each country.
* i found out a different in apn setting wt different rom. slim rom only captured 4g by my local provider (APN). when im tried asob its give choice in Apn setting ( 3g /4g). my country not fully h+ at several area. so changing to 3g got better network (better low than nothing)

I don't think that applies to CDMA
